I'll still be going to the same job if/when it happens, still get taxed beyond belief, and all politicians will still be lying bullshitting useless cunts.
And no matter how much you talk or argue about it, we will still get mugged off somehow, no matter what the result is......
which as far as i can gather, we had a vote, and we're leaving Europe, so we supposedly don't have to put up with their dickhead rules and decisions.
My main gripe so far is that my local is a Wetherspoons pub and the stubborn political bellend has replaced very fine French Brandy with crass American and Australian liquid earwax just to make HIS point. That's just wrong, that's like making McDonald's a vegan eatery overnight.
Quotewhich as far as i can gather, we had a vote, and we're leaving Europe, so we supposedly don't have to put up with their dickhead rules and decisions.Yes daylight headlamps, umm curved bananas and something about Dazza’s Great Grandfather – well these so far are the only reasons the LEAVE foccers have come up with.
You can add cheaper food and drink to that list now by removing EU tariffs.
Am i the only one who hasn't got a clue what Brexit means or what it's all about?I don't believe i am.
QuoteYou can add cheaper food and drink to that list now by removing EU tariffs.Single market Fazersharp. 28 countries trading as one. There are no tariffs. Further we have free trade access to a further 50 countries via EU free trade agreements. If we do a NO DEAL (which parliament should act to prevent) then we loose all that.
Leavers tell the truth,
Rubbish.We will trade on WTO rules that set maximum tariffs BUT allow any member to set any amount of low (including ZERO) tariffs.The EU tariffs I was referring to are not EU to EU ones because they do not exist I was Obviously referring the ones that you have conveniently ignored which is the rest of the world. Currently within the EU we HAVE to apply what is called The Common Customs Tariff to the rest of the world which varies depending on the goods involved - anything from 0-36%.Leaving on WTO rules means that we can set our own which can be zero if we chose.
If you make your import tariffs very low or zero, other countries will flood you with cheap goods

If only it was as simple as that...... If you make your import tariffs very low or zero, other countries will flood you with cheap goods. This will wreck your home production
QuoteIf you make your import tariffs very low or zero, other countries will flood you with cheap goodsSo we would be flooded with cheap Japanese whisky. And the UK's biggest food and drink export Scotch Whisky, a 4 billion plus a year industry, would be destroyed.
We are talking about food/drink goods that we import because we can not grow them here so it wont wreck home production. And by your own words it will only wreck production of sweeds and turnips.
Great, why should we care about that.
QuoteGreat, why should we care about that. so you can destroy this great country of ours.
Quote Leavers tell the truth, I'm sorry. I've just split my sides laughing
Just to point out again :1. Not all Leavers (by any means) want a No Deal Brexit2. There isn't going to be a No Deal Brexit, no matter how much they want it, because3. Parliament will decide what to do next
Good job it happened now because according to Remain there won't be any doctors or nurses left here after the end of March. I should get down there quick
Seriously, am I missing something here. If Parliament votes down (rejects) May's Brexit deal in the second week of January and nothing more happens between then and the end of March, surely we just leave with no deal?. Without an Article 50 extension we automatically cease to be a member of The EU at the end of March don't we?.

If Parliament votes down May's deal (including any changes she makes to it) the government will extend Article 50 while something is sorted out. All the signs are there. The EU has said the UK can extend without permission. Amber Rudd (May's spokeswoman) is looking to get consent for other options (ie EFTA & EEA). Mogg and Co failed to get her ousted and have spoiled it for another 12 months. All of the opposition parties (perhaps apart from the DUP) have said they won't allow a No Deal to go through. So it's Mogg and Co + the DUP versus the rest. So there is a lot of bluff, double bluff and brinkmanship going on at the moment on all sides.All to play for in injury time.

Whatever happened to "No deal is better than a bad deal" Quote The EU has said the UK can extend without permission. Well of course they have because they are scared sh1tless that that 35billion is going to slip out of their hands.
